Building a stronger Indonesia’s profile in the Sultanate of Oman

---

Oman has been focusing on developing logistics infrastructure, i.e., revitalizing airports and deep seaports as well as incentivizing free zones to achieve economic growth and to become one of the future biggest hubs connecting Asia to Africa and Europe. One of its most ambitious projects is to build a Special Economic Zone Authority in Duqm (SEZAD), which is considered the biggest economic zone in the Middle East.

Thus, countries in Asia such as China, India, Malaysia and Vietnam view Oman as an emerging leading country in the Middle-east in the future. While for Indonesia, Oman played a role as an important oil import source to secure the national oil supply, especially when the world oil supply is being heavily affected by the current Russia-Ukraine war. However, the two countries should burgeon ties that go beyond oil. Indonesia and Oman have enjoyed mutual relations for 44 years since the two countries’ diplomatic ties have been established in 1978. Yet there are still rooms for improvement to strengthen Indonesia’s existence in Oman.

Indonesia’s foreign policy priorities for 2019-2024 include economic diplomacy, citizens protection, sovereignty and nationality, leadership and contribution to the regional and global stages, and diplomacy infrastructure development. This paper recommends that to achieve the national interest, particularly in strengthening economic diplomacy, firstly Indonesia needs to
build a stronger profile in Oman. It can be achieved by integrating efforts such as levelling up bilateral the mechanism, enhancing soft power, establishing a free trade agreement, and strengthening Indonesia’s leadership among ASEAN Representatives in Oman.
